The Visita Iglesia has been a common tradition for Filipinos during the Lenten Season. Families or friends sequentially visit seven to fourteen churches where they recite the stations of the cross. In order to adhere to tradition to cover fourteen churches, careful planning for the trip is necessary.

Here in the Philippines, the Catholic church has provided a way for those are unable to do the Visita Iglesia. An online Visita Iglesia has been put up. Here you can find popular churches across Manila starting with the Manila Cathedral. An audio narration is available for each station.

The site is favorably setup for Filipinos abroad, seamen, or those who are physically incapable. Click the image below to try it.
